The Laughter of Dead Kings by Elizabeth Peters

3.0

I love Elizabeth Peters so I am always happy to read another book by her. The Amelia Peabody series is really where my loyalty lies though. This was a fun, fluffy read and I chuckled at the author's highly intelligent use of language, which works for Victorian Egyptologists but somehow just seems like a quirk of the author in the current now. Peters seems new to technology herself, emphasizing the characters' use of the "Net" and the "World Wide Web." I found it charming though because I am a fan. I was also highly amused, as I believe Peters intended, by her cameo. It was a fun read but not Peters' best work.
